History: For 23 years, homeless and at-risk elementary and middle school children have enjoyed hiking, camping, zip-lining, building life skills and more through Wilderness Works' dynamic camps.

Did you know: Five distinct camps offer year-round activities for Wilderness campers – day, city, summer, core and field camps. Day Camp provides trips to local parks, museums and other venues while city, summer, core and field camps are in-depth overnight camps.

Its motto: Serving homeless, at-risk and very vulnerable children, Wilderness Works provides year-round enrichment, experiential education and character development.

How you can help: Wilderness Works is looking for at-risk children who could benefit from their programs, so share this information. Individuals, college students and groups can volunteer at any of the camp programs. Donors are also always welcomed.

To learn more: Visit wildernessworks.org or email citycamp@wildernessworks.org.
